"Interesting concept and setting for a vampire movie.
I didn't like the anti-God statement by the head vampire and I didn't like the ending."

"3.30308 ... Very Fun to watch! ... Lacks characterizations of principals, familiars, vampires....Some sympathies attempted to be worked up by potential, and actual victims ..But, mostly goes straight for the jugular, I mean, the bloody action.... I like the 30 days of suspense angle, helps built the tension.... Overall, hide-and-go-seek, Entertaining, Bloody, Suspense and Action!!! Worth a Watch! A Must for the ultimate vampire collection! "

"4.25~ When I first heard about this movie I was like "About time!" I have been saying to my friends since I was 10 that someone should make a vampire movie set in Alaska because of the long periods with no sun. That being said, my expectations were probably too high. But I still really enjoyed this movie. It could have been done better, but as my answer is most of the time; it beats the hell out of the lame gore for gores sake movies that have been passed of as horror since Hostel."

David (Hard Candy) Slade directs this nerve-jangling adaptation of the popular graphic novel series about a mob of vampires that overruns a remote Alaskan town in the grip of 30 Days of Night. Josh Hartnett and Melissa George are the film's de facto heroes (he's the stoic town sheriff and she's his estranged fire-marshal wife) but the picture's real MVP is Slade's camera (along with cinematographer Jo Willems), which careens across the town's snowy landscape to detail the vampires' horrific assault on its inhabitants, which are quickly pared down to a hardy few. The script, co-written by the source material's creator, Steve Niles, along with Pirates of the Caribbean's Stuart Beattie and Hard Candy's Brian Nelson), proudly wears its influences on its crimson-stained sleeve (Bram Stoker's Dracula, natch, but also 'Salem's Lot, Night of the Living Dead, and John Carpenter's version of The Thing) and boils down the graphic novels to a series of tense and extremely bloody standoffs between Harnett and George's band of survivors and the vaguely Slavic and ferocious bloodsuckers led by Marlow (a feral and frightening Danny Huston). And if the characters seem stock and the finale begs suspension of disbelief, the set pieces leading up to it are sufficiently supercharged with suspense and violence to please most horror fans. Standouts in the supporting cast are Ben Foster as the film's Renfield figure and Mark Boone Junior; the disturbing score by Brian Reitzell also merits a mention. --Paul Gaita - Amazon.com
Josh Harnett (Black Dahlia, Pearl Harbor) crosses over to the dark side in this bone-chilling adaptation of the cult-hit graphic novel, brought to the screen in all its demonic glory. In a small Alaskan town, thirty days of night is a natural phenomenon. Very few outsiders visit, until a band of bloodthirsty, deathly pale vampires mark their arrival by savagely attacking sled dogs. But soon they find there are much more satisfying thirst-quenchers about: human beings. One by one, the townspeople succumb to a living nightmare, but a small group survives - at least for now. The vampires use the dark to their advantage, and surviving this cold hell is a game of cat and mouse - and screams. - Product Description
